Mayfair Village, London

The Asset

The asset is a Grade II listed freehold residential property in Mayfair Village, London, with a combined value of approximately £56 million. The property spans over 21,200 square feet and comprises 11 bedrooms, alongside premium leisure facilities including a swimming pool, private outdoor terrace and garden areas. The property has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment.

The Situation

Cohort Capital provided a £20 million bridging loan to refinance a prime residential property in Mayfair Village, enabling a long-standing client to exit a private bank facility at short notice. The transaction was completed in just three weeks, demonstrating Cohort’s ability to deliver speed and certainty for high-net-worth borrowers when timing is critical.

The Challenge

Despite the property being vacant with no rental income to service the debt, the borrower required a lender able to take a holistic view of the situation. Standard lending channels were unable to respond with the speed or flexibility required to meet the client’s deadline. The borrower, an experienced property investor with a substantial portfolio across the UK and Europe, has worked with Cohort for three years and currently has £10 million of existing lending with the firm on other residential properties.

Cohort’s Approach

When the borrower’s private bank requested redemption of their loan, Cohort was able to act decisively. With direct investment committee approvals and no institutional constraints, the firm structured a tailored solution. The loan-to-value of 36% provided sensible leverage against this high-quality Mayfair asset. Cohort took a holistic view of the borrower’s net worth, existing relationship, and proven track record in prime residential investment — structuring a pragmatic financing solution that enabled the client to exit the private bank facility and maintain their investment strategy without compromise. This transaction highlights Cohort Capital’s solutions-led approach for sophisticated borrowers in London’s prime residential market. By providing flexible, pragmatic financing structures even when assets are vacant or transitional, Cohort enables clients to maintain their investment strategies without compromise.
